Qin Zhiye didn’t say he didn’t want to use Li Yong’s money all the time. He just used Qin Xiaojie as an excuse, “Our family is very comfortable now. We have a house to live in, a car to drive, and our Sister and Brother-in-law give us money from time to time. That’s why Qin Xiaojie is so unambitious. I just want him to know that the family doesn’t have so much money for him to squander. He has to fight for everything he wants.”
Qin Xiaomin and Li Yong had nothing to refute Qin Zhiye’s words.
“If you’ve thought it through, we don’t have any objections.” Qin Xiaomin whispered.
She was afraid he wouldn’t be able to bear to leave. After all, he had lived in the house for so many years.
“No,” Niu Allan said. “I don’t agree. Half of this house is mine.”
Li Yong stood at the side and watched the old couple stare at each other like fighting c.o.c.ks.
He also knew his father-in-law was probably feeling uncomfortable because his family had no money and kept asking his daughter for money.
He had earned a lot over the years.
If Qin Xiaojie didn’t cause any trouble, he wouldn’t mind raising this family of three for his wife’s sake.
Although he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, they were still his wife’s family.
He deliberated and was about to speak.
Qin Zhiye suddenly said, “That’s fine too. If you insist on not agreeing, when can we go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce? Sell the house and split the money equally.”
Qin Zhiye’s words stunned the entire family.
The living room was silent. No one spoke.
Niu Allan didn’t expect Qin Zhiye to say such cruel words after being married for half a lifetime.
“Father, I still have something to do in the shed. I’ll leave first.” Li Yong was afraid his mother-in-law would feel awkward, so he quickly said.
Qin Zhiye didn’t say anything. Li Yong quickly took the car keys and left.
When he opened the door, Qin Xiaojie was still outside.
Seeing the door open, she wanted to go in.
“Don’t make trouble,” Li Yong hurriedly pushed him out.
“Brother-in-law, please put in a good word for me and let me in!” Qin Xiaojie said embarra.s.sedly.
Li Yong looked at Qin Xiaojie and his expression turned serious, “This time, we are all serious. Whether it’s Father, Mother, or your Sister and I, we can’t take care of you forever.”
As he spoke, Li Yong went around Qin Xiaojie and was about to drive away.
Seeing this, Qin Xiaojie quickly chased after him and asked fawningly, “Then Brother-in-law, can you give me some more money? I don’t have much money left. You can’t just watch me starve to death, right?”
Li Yong was a little hesitant at first, but when he remembered what his father-in-law said last night, he became firm again, “Father said we can’t give you a single cent. You’d better take care of yourself!”
Li Yong patted Qin Xiaojie’s shoulder, got into the car, and left.
Qin Xiaojie watched Li Yong leave dejectedly. He thought for a while and went to Qin Junshan.
In the villa, Niu Allan relaxed a lot after Li Yong left.
She took a tissue and wiped her tears, “I think you despise me. You despise me because I’m sick and can’t do much work now. You think I’m a burden. Why is my life so bitter…”
Qin Zhiye allowed her to speak without saying a word.
He could not continue to indulge this mother and son.
The two of them had to change. Li Yong could not take care of them forever.
He did not want his daughter’s marriage to have any problems because of them.
Niu Allan cried for a long time. Seeing that Qin Zhiye didn’t say anything, she panicked.
Could it be that he really, really despised her?
They had been husband and wife for half of their lives. Their relationship was so deep. How could they just divorce just like that?
“No, I’m not getting a divorce!” Niu Allan said, “I’m definitely not getting a divorce.”
“Whether you agree or not, I’m selling this house.” Qin Zhiye was silent for a long time and only said this.
Seeing that her previous methods were useless, Qin Zhiye even thought of divorcing her. Niu Allan was really afraid now.
“I agree, I agree…” She could only compromise.
Now, she had to sell the house first to appease the old man.
In the future, if Xiaojie really had a girlfriend and wanted to get married, neither the old man nor Xiaomin would stand by and watch him buy a house.
Qin Zhiye heaved a sigh of relief.
“Alright, I’ll go find an agency today and put the house up for sale.” Qin Zhiye whispered.
As they were talking, the phone at home suddenly rang.
Qin Xiaomin quickly picked it up. The other party said something, and her expression became a little strange.
“Please tell Uncle not to give him a single cent. He was chased out of the house by my father.”
After hanging up, Qin Xiaomin looked at Qin Zhiye, “It’s Xiaojie. He went to Uncle to borrow money.”
Qin Zhiye looked at Niu Ailan and sneered. He then ordered Qin Xiaomin, “Call all your relatives. No one is allowed to lend him money. If he really want to borrow money, don’t come to me for money.”
Upon hearing Qin Zhiye’s words, Qin Xiaomin rubbed her fists and nodded, “Got it.”
Ji Yuanyuan’s results for the middle school examination came out after a few days of vacation.
It was slightly worse than Ji Zixuan’s, but slightly better than Ji Zi’ang’s.
Li Xu was finally relieved.
In late July, the epidemic was finally under control.
Qin Mucheng finally arrived at S City.
He would be an adult in half a year. He would be a young man. He was 1.8 meters tall and looked very oppressive when he stood in front of Ji Yuanyuan.
The older he grew, the more taciturn he became.
He did not open the present for Ji Yuanyuan on the spot. He only told Ji Yuanyuan, “Go back and open it. There are two things inside for Brother Zixuan and Zi’ang.”
Ji Yuanyuan looked at the huge box and nodded with a smile, “Got it, Brother Mucheng!”
When Qin Mucheng heard that, he did not know why, but he looked a little disappointed.
Ji Yuanyuan wanted to ask, but Xiao Qi was already calling for dinner.
She could only put the question aside and dragged Qin Mucheng over for dinner.
At the dining table, Qin Mucheng was very quiet, and only Ji Zi’ang’s chattering could be heard.
After dinner, Qin Junshan and Ji Zi’ang went upstairs to take an afternoon nap.
Qin Mucheng was downstairs feeding Qin Doudou.
Ji Yuanyuan thought about it and decided not to follow him upstairs. Instead, she went downstairs.
She went forward and squatted beside Qin Mucheng. She hugged her knees and looked at Qin Doudou.
Neither of them spoke. In the entire living room, only the sound of Qin Doudou eating could be heard.
“Brother Mucheng, you don’t seem to like talking to me anymore.” Ji Yuanyuan said straightforwardly after a while.
“Did I?” Qin Mucheng turned his head to look at her.
Ji Yuanyuan blinked and asked, “You don’t?”
“I don’t!” Qin Mucheng shook his head.
He turned around and stretched out his hand to feed Qin Doudou some more dog food.
Upon seeing this, Ji Yuanyuan reached out and grabbed the corner of Qin Mucheng’s shirt.. She said pitifully, “You’d rather look at a dog than me, and you still say you don’t!”
